TAN1428AB-M: deep sounds
A tan tan (or tan tam) is used in samba music as a bass instrument. In terms of sound, it is slightly higher than a surdo, but because the rhythms are mostly the same, the tan tan just gives a fuller sound when played along. The playing technique is the same as that of the surdo, playing the sheet with one hand and giving sharper setbacks on the kettle with the other. The tan tankan can be played sitting down, on your lap, but is also equipped with sturdy carrying hooks. An extraordinary instrument that is sure to be an addition to any samba group.
